my dog is a chihuahua who weighs almost 5 lbs and is 1 year and 3 months old.
she is sneezing and has the sniffles.
any help on choosing a medicine for her or should I wait until her vet comes in on monday?
are there medicines that can treat colds in dogs?
thanks in advance for help

She needs to go to the vet before she is put on ay type of medications. Don't treat an illness if you don't know what it is.

You should take her to the vet first...he will be able to tell you what to give her and exactly how much - she's so tiny so the dosing needs to be accurate (I have Chihuahuas, too!). Plus, some human medications are very dangerous for dogs so always go to your vet. Hope she's feeling better soon!
